Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for packaging a food product, in particular a chocolate hollow figure, according to the independent method claim.
  • the invention further relates to a machine for packaging a food product, in particular a chocolate hollow figure, according to the independent device claim.
  • the present invention is based on the object of improving the known method and the known device in such a way that food products, and in particular hollow chocolate figures, can be packed reliably and time-efficiently in film half-shells, the risk of undesired film cut residue being at least reduced.
  • one of two foil half-shells is equipped with a food product and each foil half-shell is adapted with its respective inner contour to the corresponding outer contour of the food product.
  • One with the food product The fitted film half-shell is joined together with a correspondingly different film half-shell, so that the two joined film half-shells enclose the food product, the film half-shells being trimmed before being fitted.
  • a film half-shell can be formed by a lowering movement of a stamping device and can also be trimmed by this stamping device.
  • Shaping and trimming of the film half-shell in a stamping device allows space- and time-efficient shaping and trimming of one or several film half-shells in a defined area at the same time. Furthermore, no transfer is necessary between an area of the forming of the film half-shell and the trimming of the same, which increases the precision when trimming the film half-shells, since the position of the light film half-shells could be undesirably changed during transfer processes.
  • Shaping the film half-shell by a lowering movement of a stamping device and cutting the film half-shell by the stamping device advantageously combines the forming and cutting in one processing step. This also increases the cutting precision, as the film half-shell is still in a very defined position shortly after molding.
  • a film half-shell can be cut by the stamp device while it is being fixed by the stamp device.
  • Fixing the film half-shell by the stamp device which also cuts the film half-shell, further improves the cutting precision during trimming, since undesired slipping of the film half-shell is prevented during the cutting process.
  • the fixing of the film half-shell by the stamp device is a particularly efficient and compact solution.
  • a film half-shell can advantageously be shaped, fixed and trimmed in one processing step.
  • an unequipped film half-shell before the cut film half-shells are joined together, an unequipped film half-shell can be placed, in particular folded, on an equipped film half-shell so that the two film half-shells enclose the food product.
  • the food product Since the outer contour of the food products, such as hollow chocolate figures, is adapted to the inner contour of the respective foil half-shells, the food product centers the unequipped foil half-shell in a particularly advantageous manner, so that it comes to rest very precisely on the corresponding other foil half-shell.
  • the film half-shells can advantageously be trimmed in a trimming area and fitted and assembled in a food processing area spaced apart therefrom.
  • a spatial separation of the trimming from the loading and joining together reliably reduces the risk of cutting residues entering the packaged food product.
  • cut film half-shells can be transferred to the food processing area in a working position, from which film half-shells that have been joined together are also removed from the food processing area.
  • the object mentioned at the beginning is also achieved by a machine for packaging a food product, in particular a hollow chocolate figure, according to the independent device claim.
  • Said machine has a trimming unit for trimming unequipped film half-shells as well as a food processing unit, which has a loading device for loading film half-shells with food products and a joining device for joining together film half-shells filled with food products and unequipped film half-shells, so that the two joined film half-shells house a food product.
  • the trimming unit is arranged outside the food processing unit.
  • the machine can advantageously have a forming unit for forming pieces of film into film half-shells, and the forming unit and the trimming unit can be arranged in one and the same work station.
  • the forming unit and the trimming unit can be arranged in a stamp device.
  • the molding unit can have a shaping structure for the pressing molding of a film half-shell
  • the trimming unit can have a cutting device which is arranged in the work station and / or in the stamping device so as to be relatively movable to the shaping structure.
  • the shaping structure relative to the cutting device can be arranged so as to be relatively movable that a pressing shaping of a film half-shell causes and / or allows a relative movement of the cutting device to the shaping structure in the direction of the film half-shell.
  • the shaping structure in the stamp device can be resiliently arranged and arranged leading to the cutting device in the pressing direction, so that during a pressing shaping of a film half-shell, compression of the shaping structure causes and / or allows the relative movement of the cutting device in the direction of the film half-shell.
  • the food processing unit can have holding devices for holding film half-shells, which are moved discontinuously through the food processing unit when the machine is in operation, preferably on an indexing table.
  • two holding devices can be arranged so that they can move relative to one another and, during operation, hold film half-shells in a first state and in one second state a holding device have placed their film half-shells on the film half-shells of the corresponding other holding device, so that the two film half-shells enclose the food product.
  • the holding devices enable the two film half-shells to be placed on top of one another in a suitable manner.
  • the second state enables and facilitates monitoring of the accuracy of fit and the position of the film half-shells with respect to one another before they are joined.
  • two holding devices can be connected to one another via a folding mechanism, and the food processing unit can furthermore have a folding unit which actuates the folding mechanism during operation.
  • the machine can have a transfer unit which is set up to pick up foil half-shells cut during operation and to store them in the food processing unit and to pick up and remove joined foil half-shells from the food processing unit at overlapping times, preferably at the same time.
  • the transfer unit can advantageously have two movable and spaced apart, in particular constantly spaced, selective gripping devices, one gripping device being able to selectively pick up and release film half-shells and the other gripping device being able to selectively pick up and release joined-together film half-shells.
